Matt, Erik, and Joey Attend the 2016 Esoteric Book Conference This episode discusses two important things. First, the Esoteric Book Conference in Seattle in 2016. Second, our "origin stories," in particular how each of us became Freemasons. We also reveal important secrets. For instance, one of Matt's podcast editing secrets is to make all of Erik's laughing really loud. Share this if you think that is cool! Location: We recorded this at Matt's house. Event: Esoteric Book Conference 2016 Brewery: Anthem Brewing We were drinking beers from Matt's stash from his time as brewmaster. You can't get these anymore! We're really sorry to do this to you, but not really, because we got to drink some amazing beer.
